Australian Allwood Coppicing and Pruning Services was founded in August 2006 in Albany, Western Australia. Founders Simon Wilkinson and Warren Marshall saw the need for a safer, more reliable service for the blue gum coppicing market and quickly found a niche in being able to commercially thin pine’s, prune timber, maintain and remove unwanted woody weeds and road verge timber.
Australian Allwood Coppicing and Pruning Services offers a safe, efficient and productive mechanical alternative to timber cutting in the form of coppicing, thinning and pruning of softwood, hardwood and woody weed populations. This is all possible from the cab of a fleet of mini excavators using a unique, AACPS designed Track-Saw. This attachment is the subject of an International patent application.
The "Track-Saw" fleet is comprised of 3 tonne, air conditioned, Caterpillar mini excavators paired with the unique, AACPS designed, chainsaw attachment. All machines have TOPS and FOPS structures and run on rubber tracks.
The cutting head is attached to the excavator and has the ability to rotate 160 degrees horizontally, left to right. The bucket lifting ram has been left in place to be able to tilt the head up or down using the excavator controls allowing a variety of cutting positions. With hydraulic modifications, the attachment functions are all controlled from the cab.
When attached to the mini excavators, the machine has the capability reach of cutting up to 5.1 metres high, or similar in outreach.
Machine dimensions makes manoeuvrability performance very high as it is only 1.65m wide with zero tail swing, allowing greater access to tight areas. The "Track-Saw" performs on steep hillside slopes while carrying out it's various tasks.
They can also perform stump spraying using a spray head and tank, fire break maintenance, post fire rehabilitation tasks and other ancillary services because of the flexibility of our machines and attachments. More info on website www.aacps.com.au
